“However you define it, success correlates with two chief qualities: one is intelligence; the other is self-control,” writes John Tierney, the best-selling author of Willpower: Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength. Tierney presented his advice for improving efficiency — as a leader, an entrepreneur, or a staff member — during Atlas Network’s 2014 Liberty Forum. Now published in this new Roadmaps article, Tierney offers eight strategies for working smart:
- Know your limits
- Build your willpower
- Eat
- Avoid the planning fallacy
- Make a to-do list that’s actually doable
- Keep track
- The “Nothing Alternative”
- Conserve your willpower
This article is part of the Roadmaps series, which offers best practices, case studies, and inspirational tips for Intellectual Entrepreneurs within Atlas Network. Roadmaps is a part of Atlas Leadership Academy, Atlas Network’s training program.
